Disability Swimming

Disability Swimming is a Paralympic Sport and is an extremely popular activity amongst disabled people. 

If you are a disabled person who can swim 15metres or more and would like to get involved in cometitive swimming you will need to complete a Tracker Form. This form allows us to follow your progress and ensure that you are put in touch with the right people to help you achieve your goals. 
 
London Swimming is preparing a programme of Master Classes in all disciplines which will help you achieve your potential. More information

If you are interested in competing and you have completed a tracker form, you will need to become classified in order to compete against swimmers of the same ability, this process is called classification

If you are interested in becoming involved with disability swimming and want more information please contact Michelle Weltman mob: 07710 419218.
